Hotels near the Chalke Valley History Festival
The Royal Oak
Swallowcliffe - 4 miles away
The whitewashed, ivy-hung exterior of this former tannery-turned-ale house does little to betray its ‘stunning, modern’ interiors, nor the ‘warmth and charm’ that welcome visitors and locals.
The Compasses Inn
Tisbury - 4.8 miles away
A local hot spot ‘in the middle of nowhere’, this thatch-roofed 14th-century inn is worth the trip down a winding country lane in the Nadder valley.
Howard’s House
Salisbury - 6 miles away
'Such a romantic spot.’ Deep in the Nadder valley, amid narrow country lanes that are ‘a pleasure to get lost in’, this 17th-century house is owned by Grahame and Prue Senior and Simon and Charlotte Greenwood.
Castleman - Midweek Special Offer
Blandford Forum - 7 miles away
If you’re in search of ‘a comfortable and homely experience’, look no further than Barbara Garnsworthy’s former dower house in an ‘unspoilt’ estate village within the former royal hunting ground of Cranborne Chase.
The Beckford Arms
Tisbury - 7 miles away
Deep in rural Wiltshire, on the edge of the Fonthill Estate and Cranborne Chase, this 'lovely old Georgian inn' is Dan Brod and Charlie Luxton’s sophisticated take on a country pub.
La Fleur de Lys
Shaftesbury - 9 miles away
Personal attention from the owners won high praise from readers this year, after a stay at this restaurant-with-rooms overlooking Blackmore Vale.
The Grosvenor Arms
Shaftesbury - 9 miles away
A stone’s throw from Shaftesbury’s famous Gold Hill (of Hovis ad fame), there has been an inn on this spot since the 1500s. This may well be its most successful incarnation, with ‘top-notch’ staff, ‘stunning’ rooms and a ‘first-class‘ restaurant.

Carefully restored, with an abundance of quirky details – a stream separates the dining room from bar – this well-designed roadside inn is a social media hit.
Salisbury - 10 miles away
A 15-minute walk from the cathedral, the Street family’s ‘first-rate guest house’ provides good-value B&B accommodation.
The Crown Hotel
Blandford Forum - 13 miles away
‘Well-regarded’ brewers Hall and Woodhouse have owned this Georgian town-centre inn since 1931. For one reader it is but ‘a useful stopping place’, for another ‘there’s no better place for a choice of Badger Ales’.

‘There is a timeless feel and magic about the setting’ of this Jacobean manor house. It stands in 'immaculate gardens in Thomas Hardy’s ‘vale of little dairies’.

Lyndhurst - 17 miles away
Flanked by two golf courses, this 18th-century coaching inn, in a quiet New Forest hamlet, is ‘a great option for a relaxed weekend away’.
